Chocolate Chip Cookies...and they're Vegan!

Ever get a craving for something and you just don't quite know how it's going to happen?  Well, since we've been seriously cutting back on dairy and eggs as we inch ever further into our veggie lifestyle, I thought that finding a cookie recipe that would make a craving like that disappear was a thing of the past.  I thought I'd just have to settle for whatever was out there and hope for the best.  These cookies gave me hope that there will be deliciousness over here on the "V" side of life.

I found the recipe at Happy Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies and I did make a few adaptations after reading the comments...

Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:

• 1 c whole wheat flour


• 1 c all purpose, unbleached flour


• 1/2 t salt


• 1 c organic sugar


• 1/2 c canola oil


• 1 t vanilla


• 1/4 c water


• 1/2 c chopped dark chocolate (not vegan but it was all I had in the house at the time)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350


2. Mix all dry ingredients except chocolate.


3. Add wet ingredients to dry and mix.  Add chocolate and incorporate well.  Batter will be stiff.


4. Drop batter by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.  Flatten slightly as batter will not spread much.


5. Bake in preheated oven for about 10 minutes.  Check after 8 minutes and remove when edges are slightly browned.


6. Let cool for a minute or two on the cookie sheet before transferring them to a cooling rack because otherwise they are a bit crumbly when hot.

And watch out, cookie thieves.  Sometimes people are photographing as you're trying to swipe the cookies in between shots and you might just get caught.

Enjoy,
